This dialog box includes the following areas and tabs:
Figure 1: Busway Data Dialog Box
Option | Description |
---|---|
Unit | Select either U.S. or Metric. |
Mfr | Provides a list of busway manufacturers available in the device library. |
Type | Provides a list of busway types available in the device library. |
Length | The length of the busway in feet or meters. |
Ampacity | Busway rating in amperes. After you choose a manufacturer and type, the available ampacities are displayed here. If the desired manufacturer is missing from the list, you can select Generic in the Mfr field and (std) in the Type field to select from generic options. |
Material | The busway material (copper or aluminum). |
Impedances | |
Impedances are described in ohms/100 feet or ohms/100 meters. Zero sequence impedances are found from the positive sequence impedance using a Z0/Z1 multiplier from Reference1Let's Be More Specific About Equipment Grounding, R.H. Kaufmann, General Electric Co., GER 1974.. | |
R1 | Positive sequence resistance. |
X1 | Positive sequence reactance. |
R0 | Zero sequence resistance. If you enter this value as zero (0.0), the positive sequence impedance is used. |
X0 | Zero sequence reactance. If you enter this value as zero (0.0), the positive sequence impedance is used. |
Calculate | Fills in computed values for the impedances R1, X1, R0, and X0 fields. You can override these values by typing in different numbers. The calculations are based on the specific manufacturer’s data for the type of busway chosen with the Mfr, Type, Ampacity, and Material fields. |
Use the Harmonics tab to indicate whether this equipment item is introducing harmonics into your power system.

Resistance Factor |
EasyPower offers two methods for calculating RH:
RH = RFund * H R-EXP RH = RFund * (1+ECF*H2)/(1+ECF) EasyPower defaults all skin effect correction to R-EXP and a value of 0.5.
